Tim Tebow: Twitter Reacts to Tim Terrific's Playoff Showdown with Tom Brady

It's almost that time, folks. Time for the Denver Broncos vs. the New England Patriots. Tim Tebow vs. Tom Brady. Golden Boy vs. Also Golden Boy. Easy narratives vs. complex realities.

I can hardly wait. Neither can anyone else, at least if Twitter is any indication.

Surely, Jim Nantz and Phil Simms are already jumping up and down in the announcers' booth at Gillette Stadium, giddy with anticipation for Tebow-Brady II—their fourth Broncos broadcast in as many weeks.

But before we jump head-first into the Twittersphere, let's get warmed up with some of the quirkier takes on the Tebow phenomenon, starting with Saturday Night Live's skit on Tebow and his homeboy:

And in case you missed it, here's a look at Jimmy Fallon's hilarious conflation of Tebow and David Bowie—Tebowie:

Apparently, the Broncos are incorporating irony as part of their game plan to beat the Pats:

Tebow's even overshadowing the NFC clash between the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints:

He's even got MLB superstars intrigued:

Say what you want about Tebow during the game, but the guy sure can throw deep ball in warm-ups:

And you thought the world of political commentary was immune to Tebowmania:

Neither is Tebow immune to the world of making lots and lots of money:

Uh oh. As if most of Tebow's throws weren't ugly enough as is:

Let the familial trash talking being:

Somewhere (i.e. Columbus, Ohio), Urban Meyer is smiling:

Well, I don't want to make any assumptions, but it looks the Broncos will need a lot more than just some Tebow magic to get back in the game against the Pats. Tom Brady tore up the turf in the first 30 minutes, seeing a new NFL playoff record with five touchdown passes in a half.

Tebow, meanwhile, completed 3-of-10 for 28 yards.

Oops.

Time for a miracle?

No? Well, what time is it then?

That must've been a rough halftime speech for John Fox to give to his team:

And if that doesn't work, perhaps some of Tebow's most avoided vices would help to soothe the pain:

Tebow the Quarterback may be done for the night, but Tebow the Martyr still has some work to do:

No spate of Tebow trashing would be complete without an edgewise word from Skip Bayless, Tebow's No. 1 fan:

Luckily, the NFL isn't entirely Tebow-centric:

Might Tebow be plagued by the ESPN curse?

Aaaaand, one last burn:
